Now playing : carpenters - yesterday once more

Suatu hari yang malas, ketika sedang menyembuhkan luka hati dan meninggalkan sejenak pekerjaan dan menghabiskan tabungan, aku membuka aplikasi pemutar musik online dan melihat "lagu apa ya yang enak untuk memecah kesunyi-sepian ini?"

Kalo di pemutar musik online ini, terdapat fitur yg memampukan kita membuat playlist, aku bikin playlist dulu supaya nanti tinggal puter doang gitu. Trus wkt menambahkan lagu ke playlist, aplikasi ini menyarankan lagu yg sejenis dengan apa yg baru aja kutambahkan ke playlist. Sebuah judul lagu terbaca dan membawaku ke masa lalu, masa lalu yang indah, persis seperti yang digambarkan lagu ini. The carpenters - Yesterday once more.
Berikut lirik lagunya...

When I was young

I'd listen to the radio

Waitin' for my favorite songs

When they played I'd sing along

It made me smile

Those were such happy times

And not so long ago

How I wondered where they'd gone

But they're back again

Just like a long lost friend

All the songs I loved so well

Every Sha-la-la-la

Every Wo-o-wo-o

Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they're startin' to sing's

So fine

When they get to the part

Where he's breakin' her heart

It can really make me cry

Just like before

It's yesterday once more

Lookin' back on how it was

In years gone by

And the good times that I had

Makes today seem rather sad

So much has changed

It was songs of love that

I would sing to then

And I'd memorize each word

Those old melodies

Still sound so good to me

As they melt the years away

Every Sha-la-la-la

Every Wo-o-wo-o

Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they're startin' to sing's

So fine

All my best memories

Come back clearly to me

Some can even make me cry

Just like before

It's yesterday once more

Every Sha-la-la-la

Every Wo-o-wo-o

Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they're startin' to sing's

So fine

Balutan musiknya bagiku mampu memberi ilusi membawaku ke hari yg telah lalu, dimana ada kenangan manis saat mendengar lagu2 yg berkesan. Perlahan lagu2 yg berkesan itu muncul lagi satu demi satu, lagu yg bukan lagu ini, lagu dengan kisahnya sendiri.

Sampai lagu yesterday once more ini selesai berkumandang, aku memutarnya ulang. Aku ga pengen kenanganku kembali dan terhenti karena lagu yg kuputar berakhir. Begitulah kuhabiskan sore dengan hanya lagu ini berkumandang berulang, dan imaji yang terbawa menghabiskan waktu yang sekarang untuk kembali tersenyum, bersedih, mengharu, menyesali, berbangga, hingga aku kembali ke kesadaran bahwa aku ada di detik ini.
